PREFACE. 


I  have  compiled  this  work  merely  through  a  regimental  pride, 
without  any  desire  or  hope  of  remuneration  for  my  labor;  and, 
by  the  assistance  (subscription  to  one  or  more  copies  of  the 
work)  of  my  brothers-in-arms  and  kind  friends,  I  have  published 
it,  that  they  may  know  where  the  Eegiment  has  been,  and  what 
it  has  done  for  the  country;  and  that  they  may  view  the  records 
of  the  officers  who  have  had  the  honor  of  belonging  to  it. 

I  have  labored  under  many  disadvantages  in  obtaining  the 
necessary  information  for  the  publication  of  the  work,  but  have 
succeeded  much  better  than  I  had  anticipated,  although  the 
earlier  part  of  the  history  is  somewhat  incomplete. 

To  Brigadier  General  LORENZO  THOMAS,  (formerly  an  officer 
of  the  Eegiment,)  late  Adjutant  General  United  States  Army,  I 
am  indebted  for  many  facts  connected  with  the  movements  of 
the  Eegiment  from  1815  to  1860,  which  facts  have  been  compiled 
from  the  muster-rolls  of  the  Regiment,  and  from  personal  recol- 
lection. From  1861  to  1871,  all  facts  enumerated  in  the  work 
are  from  notes  taken  by  myself  while  serving  with  the  Eegiment, 
or  while  on  the  staff  of  the  Brigade  or  Division  in  which  the 

Eegiment  was  serving.

1796. 

The  FOURTH  REGIMENT  OF  INFANTRY,  UNITED  STATES  ARMY, 
was  organized  in  accordance  with  the  following  act  of  Con- 
gress, approved  May  30, 1796,  but  the  exact  date  at  which  the 
formation  of  all  the  companies  was  completed  is  riot  known. 

Act  of  May  W,  1796, 

Fixing  the  military  establishment  of  the  United  States,  so  as 
to  be  composed,  after  the  last  of  October,  1796,  of        *

tion for  its  inhabitants  on  the  frontier  against  Indians. 

1802. 

In  this  year  the  Regiment  was  broken  up,  or  disbanded, 
to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  act  of  Congress,  approved 
March  16,  1802,  fixing  the  militar}7  peace  establishment  of 
the  United  States,  which  act  only  allowed  two  regiments  of 
infantry  to  the  army.  A  number  of  the  officers  were  re- 
tained in  other  regiments,  a  number  resigned,  and  the  remain- 
der were  discharged  from  the  service.  This  act  was  made 
to  take  effect  from  June  1,  1802.

Under  this  act  the  Regiment  is  reported  to  have  been 
raised  in  and  about  the  States  of  ~New  Hampshire,  Vermont, 
and  Massachusetts,  and  is  supposed  to  have  been  employed 
during  the  years  1808-'09-'10  in  protecting  the  frontiersmen 
in  the  territories  north  of  the  Ohio  river  and  south  of  the 
Great  Lakes,  as  the  first  official  notice  taken  of  the  Regi- 
ment is  during  the  campaign  of  General  Harrison  against 
the  Indians  in  the  northwest. 

1811. 

In  the  fall  of  1811  General  Harrison,  then  Governor  of 
Indiana  Territory,  marched  against  the  Indian  tribes  on  the 
"Wabash;  the  Fourth  Infantry  formed  part  of  the  army.  On 
his  approach  to  the  town  of  the  Prophet,  the  brother  of  the 
celebrated  Tecumseh,  the  principal  chiefs  came  out,  and  on 
the  6th  of  November  proposed  a  conference,  and  requested 
General  Harrison  to  encamp  for  the  night.  Fearing  treach- 
ery, the  troops  slept  on  their  arms  in  order  of  battle. 

November  7,  early  in  the  morning,  the  camp  was  furiously 
assailed,  and  a  bloody  and  doubtful  contest  ensued;  but,  after 
a  heavy  loss  on  both  sides,  the  Indians  were  finally  repulsed. 
This  was  the  celebrated  "  Battle  of  Tippecanoe,"  and  was 
fought  near  the  west  bank  of  the  Tippecanoe  river,  at  its 
junction  with  the  Wabash,  in  the  northern  part  of  Indiana. 

After  this  engagement  the  Regiment,  under  the  command 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  11 

of  Lieutenant  Colonel  Miller,  moved  to  the  southern  part  of 
Indiana  for  supplies,  (Indiana  and  Ohio  being,  at  that  time; 
almost  a  wilderness,)  crossed  the  Ohio  river  on  flatboats  or 
rafts  made  by  themselves,  and  encamped  at  Louisville,  Ken- 
tucky. After  remaining  there  a  short  while,  it  marched  along 
the  military  road  leading  to  the  town  of  Frankfort,  encamped 
there  a  short  while,  thence  crossed  the  Kentucky  river,  which 
was  very  high  at  the  time,  and  moved  on  through  Lexing- 
ton, Kentucky,  to  a  point  opposite  Cincinnati,  Ohio;  crossed 
the  Ohio  river  again,  and  marched  through  the  State  of  Ohio, 
towards  Detroit,  Michigan. 

1812. 

During  the  months  of  May  and  June  the  Fourth  Infantry, 
forming  part  of  the  army  under  General  Hull,  was  on  the 
march  from  Ohio  to  Detroit. 

July  12,  the  Fourth  Infantry,  with  the  army,  crossed  the 
Detroit  river  into  Canada,  and  encamped  at  Sandwich,  on 
the  east  bank  of  the  Detroit  river,  two  miles  below  Detroit, 
with  the  professed  object  of  marching  upon  the  British  post 
at  Maiden,  about  thirteen  miles  from  Sandwich. 

August  7,  General  Hull,  after  remaining  inactive  nearly  a 
month  in  Canada,  while  his  confident  troops  were  daily  expect- 
ing to  be  led  against  the  enemy,  suddenly  recrossed  the  De- 
troit river,  and  occupied  the  town  and  Fort  of  Detroit,  to  the 
bitter  vexation  and  disappointment  of  his  officers  and  army. 

August  8,  General  Hull  sent  several  hundred  men  of  the 
Fourth  Infantry,  under  Colonel  Miller,  Fourth  Infantry,  to 
convoy  a  party  approaching  his  camp  with  supplies,  which 
had  been  previously  attempted  by  Major  Yan  Home,  who 
was  defeated  near  Brownstown  by  a  force  of  Indians  and 
British. 

August  9,  the  expedition  under  Colonel  Miller  met  a 
large  force  of  British  and  Indians,  the  latter  under  the  fa- 
mous uTecumseh."  A  battle  ensued,  and  the  enemy  was 
routed  with  considerable  loss,  near  the  same  ground  on  which 
Van  Home  had  been  defeated. 


12  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

August  16,  General  Brock,  the  British  commander,  crossed 
the  river  a  few  miles  above  Detroit,  without  opposition,  and, 
with  a  force  of  about  seven  hundred  British  troops  and  six 
hundred  Indians,  immediately  marched  against  the  Ameri- 
can works.  While  the  American  troops,  advantageously 
posted,  and  numbering  more  than  the  combined  force  of 
British  and  Indians,  were  anxiously  awaiting  the  orders  to 
lire,  what  was  their  mortification  and  rage,  when  all  were 
suddenly  ordered  within  the  fort,  and  a  white  flag,  in  token 
of  submission,  was  suspended  from  the  walls!  Not  only  the 
army  at  Detroit,  but  the  whole  Territory  of  Michigan,  with 
all  its  forts  and  garrisons,  including  the  Fourth  Infantry, 
which  was  twenty  miles  away,  at  Brownstown,  was  basely 
surrendered,  on  the  18th  of  August,  to  the  British. 

General  Hull  was  afterwards  exchanged  for  thirty  British 
prisoners,  when  his  conduct  was  investigated  by  a  court 
martial.  The  court  declined  giving  an  opinion  on  the  charge 
of  treason,  but  convicted  him  of  cowardice  and  unofficer-like 
conduct.  He  was  sentenced  to  death,  but  was  pardoned  by 
the  President,  and  his  name  ordered  to  be  struck  from  the 
rolls  of  the  army. 

1813. 

After  the  surrender  of  Hull,  and  during  this  entire  year, 
the  enlisted  men  and  several  of  the  officers  were  held  as  pris- 
oners in  Fort  George,  Canada,  by  the  British  troops.  Some 
of  the  officers  were  exchanged,  and  were  assigned  to  other 
regiments  or  commands.  By  this  miserable  surrender  on 
the  part  of  Hull  the  Regiment  lost  its  organization,  and  was 
not  reorganized  until  1815,  when  it  was  formed  by  the  con- 
solidation of  other  regiments. 

1814. 

In  March,  the  regiments  which  afterwards,  in  1815,  were 
consolidated  into  the  Fourth  Infantry,  were  engaged  at  the 
Battle  of  La  Cole  Mill,  Canada,  and  after  that  retired  to 
Plattsburg,  New  York. 


HISTORY  OP  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  13 

September  6,  the  regiments  which,  in  1815,  formed  the 
Fourth  Infantry,  were  at  Plattsburg,  New  York,  belonging 
to  the  command  of  General  Macomb. 

September  11,  about  8  o'clock  in  the  morning,  a  general 
cannonading  was  commenced  on  the  American  works;  and 
soon  after  the  British  fleet  of  Commodore  Downie  bore  down 
and  engaged  that  of  Commodore  McDonough,  lying  in  the 
harbor.  After  an  action  of  two  hours,  the  guns  of  the  ene- 
my's squadron  were  silenced,  and  most  of  their  vessels  cap- 
tured. The  battle  on  the  land  continued  until  nightfall. 
Three  desperate  but  unsuccessful  attempts  were  made  by 
the  British  to  cross  the  stream,  and  storm  the  American 
works.  At  dusk  the  efforts  of  the  enemy  relaxed,  and  they 
commenced  a  hasty  retreat,  leaving  behind  their  sick  and 
wounded,  together  with  a  large  quantity  of  military  stores. 
This  ended  the  "Siege  of  Plattsburg." 

In  December,  a  treaty  of  peace  was  concluded  between 
the  United  States  and  Great  Britain,  although  the  fact  was 
not  generally  known  throughout  the  Army  and  Navy  until 
some  time  in  February,  1815. 

1815. 

The  Fourth  Infantry  was  reorganized  March  3,  1815,  by 
consolidation  of  the  Fourteenth,  Eighteenth,  Twentieth, 
Thirty-sixth,  and  Thirty-eighth  Regiments  of  Infantry. 

After  the  reorganization  of  the  Regiment,  it  was  ordered 
South,  and  owing  to  the  difficulties  with  the  Creek  and 
Seminole  Indians  in  Georgia,  Alabama,  and  Florida,  for 
several  years  its  history  was  one  of  continual  marches  and 
countermarches,  building  of  cantonments,  and  opening  of 
military  roads  through  the  wilderness  regions  of  those  States; 
the  policy  of  the  General  Government  then  being,  that  the 
infantry  arm  of  service  should  build  their  own  barracks  and 
open  roads  through  the  Indian  country. 

1816. 

February  29,  the  headquarters  and  three  companies  were 
stationed  at  Fort  Moultrie,  Charleston  harbor,  South  Caro- 


14  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

lina,  and  seven  companies  were  at  Fort  Hawkins,  on  the  left 
bank  of  the  Okmulgee  river,  in  Georgia,  in  the  Creek  coun- 
try, opposite  to  the  present  city  of  Macon. 

In  July,  eight  companies  were  at  Camp  Crawford,  Geor- 
gia, with  the  headquarters,  and  one  company  at  Fort  Haw- 
kins, and  one  at  Fort  Scott,  on  the  right  bank  of  the  Flint 
river,  Georgia,  in  the  Creek  Nation,  not  many  miles  above 
its  junction  with  the  Chattahoochee  river. 

In  December,  the  headquarters  and  nine  companies  were 
at  Fort  Gaines,  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Chattahoochee  river, 
Georgia,  and  one  company  at  Fort  Hawkins,  Georgia;  the 
previous  November,  the  headquarters  and  nine  companies 
were  either  at  Fort  Scott,  or  on  the  march  to  Fort  Gaines. 

1817. 

In  the  commencement  of  this  year  the  Regiment  was  on 
the  march  to  Alabama,  and  in  the  month  of  March  estab- 
lished Cantonment  "  Montpelier,"  where  the  entire  Regiment 
was  stationed  until  October,  when  it  was  marched  back  to 
Georgia,  and  in  November  was  at  Fort  Scott.  Again  it  took 
up  the  line  of  march  for  Florida,  to  operate,  under  the  com- 
mand of  Major  General  Andrew  Jackson,  against  the  Span- 
ish forces  in  the  harbor  of  Pensacola. 

1818. 

In  April  and  May,  the  Regiment  was  at  Pensacola,  Flor- 
ida, which  place,  with  Fort  Barrancas,  at  the  entrance  of  the 
bay,  had  been  captured. 

September  18,  four  companies  were  at  Craney  Island;  the 
headquarters  and  four  companies  were  at  sea,  off  Amelia 
Island,  Alabama. 

In  October,  the  headquarters  and  seven  companies  were 
at  Pensacola,  two  companies  at  Fort  Barrancas,  and  one  at 
Fort  St.  Mark,  the  old  Spanish  work,  seven  miles  from  the 
Gulf  of  Mexico,  at  the  junction  of  the  St.  Mark  and  Wakulla 
rivers,  twenty  miles  south  of  the  city  of  Tallahassee. 

In  November,  the  headquarters  and  six  companies  were 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  15 

at  Pensacola,  three  companies  at  Fort  Barrancas,  and  one 
company  at  Fort  St.  Mark. 

1819. 

In  January,  the  headquarters  and  two  companies  were  at 
Pensacola,  three  companies  at  Fort  Barrancas,  four  compa- 
nies at  Amelia  Island,  and  one  at  Fort  St.  Mark. 

In  February,  the  headquarters  and  four  companies  were 
at  Cantonment  "Montpelier,"  Alabama,  four  companies  at 
Amelia  Island,  one  company  at  Fort  St.  Mark,  and  one  com- 
pany on  the  march  to  Fort  Crawford,  where  it  arrived  in 
March. 

In  May,  the  headquarters  and  four  companies  were  at 
Cantonment  "Montpelier,*'  one  company  at  Fort  St.  Mark, 
four  companies  at  Trader's  hill,  on  the  St.  Mary's  river,  and 
one  company  at  Fort  Crawford,  Georgia. 

1820. 

In  January,  the  headquarters  and  four  companies  were  at 
Cantonment  "Montpelier,"  one  company  at  Blakely,  oppo- 
site Mobile,  and  five  companies  at  Trader's  hill,  Georgia. 

From  July  to  December,  the  entire  Regiment  was  at  Can- 
tonment "Montpelier." 

1821. 

The  entire  Regiment  was  stationed  at  Cantonment "  Mont- 
pelier," until  it  was  ordered  to  Pensacola,  after  the  receipt 
of  the  General  Order,  dated  Adjutant  and  Inspector  Gene- 
ral's Office,  May  17,  1821,  which  order  assigned  Pensacola, 
West  Florida,  as  the  station  of  the  Regiment.  Its  organiza- 
tion, as  thus  announced,  was  as  follows:  Colonel,  Robert 
Butler;  Lieutenant  Colonel,  George  M.  Brooke;  Major, 
James  B.  Maney;  Captains,  Josiah  H.  Vose,  Saunders 
Donoho,  James  H.  Hook,  James  S.  Mclntosh,  James  M. 
Glassell,  Francis  L.  Dade,  Phillip  Wager,  Henry  Wilson, 
Richard  M.  Sands,  Francis  W.  Brady;  First  Lieutenants,  H. 
R.  Dulaney,  William  Lear,  Jeremiah  Yancey,  George  W.

1  lieutenant  colonel,  1  major,  10  captains,  10  first  lieuten- 
ants, 10  second  lieutenants,  1  sergeant  major,  1  quartermaster

20  musicians,  420  privates;  commissioned  officers,  33;  en- 
listed men,  514;  aggregate,  547. 

As  the  mails  from  Washington  were  then  carried  by  stages 
and  on  horseback,  some  time  must  have  elapsed  before  the 
Regiment  received  this  order,  and  it  is  probable  the  move- 
ment from  Cantonment  "Montpelier"  did  not  take  place 
before  the  month  of  August. 

Companies  were  now,  for  the  first  time,  designated  by  letters. 

On  the  30th  of  August,  companies  A,  B,  and  E,  were  at 
Pensacola,  F  and  G  at  Barrancas.  The  regiment  had  been 
much  reduced  in  numbers,  and  the  other  companies  were 
most  probably  not  then  reorganized,  nor  until  the  Regiment 
received  a  part  of  the  enlisted  men  of  the  discontinued 
Eighth  Regiment,  then  stationed  at  the  Bay  of  St.  Louis, 
Missouri. 

Company  "I"  was  organized  at  Barrancas,  Florida,  Sep- 
tember 19;  and  Company  "H"  in  October,  at  the  same 
place. 

October  31,  Companies  A,  B,  and  E  were  at  Pensacola; 
F,  G,  H,  and  I  at  Barrancas. 

December  31,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  B,  C, 
and  E  were  stationed  at  Pensacola;  Companies  D,  F,  G,  H, 
and  K  at  Barrancas;  and  Company  I  at  Mobile  Point,  Ala- 
bama. 

1822. 

The  Regiment  retained  the  positions  it  occupied  Decem- 
31,  1821,  except  that  Company  I  was  removed  to  Dauphin 
Island,  Alabama,  in  July  or  August.  The  yellow  fever  hav- 
ing made  its  appearance  in  Pensacola,  the  four  companies  at 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  17 

that  place,  and  the  five  companies  at  Barrancas,  which  had 
been  relieved  by-  companies  of  the  Fourth  Artillery,  nine  in 
all,  moved  from  Pensacola  in  September  or  October,  and 
erected  temporary  huts  and  shelter  at  two  camps,  two  and 
one- half  miles  west  of  the  town,  on  Bayou  Chico,  named 
camps  "Hope  "and  "Brady."  These  troops  commenced 
the  erection  of  a  cantonment,  afterwards  called  Cantonment 
"Clinch,"  in  honor  of  the  distinguished  and  much-beloved 
Colonel  of  the  Regiment.  It  was  completed  for  nine  com- 
panies of  the  minimum  organization  of  the  act  of  1821,  the 
tenth  company  being  still  at  Dauphin  Island.  Each  com- 
pany built  its  own  double  block  of  two  rooms  of  logs,  and  a 
house  of  one  story  (of  logs)  of  two  rooms  for  officers'  quar- 
ters. The  troops  also  sawed  the  boards  for  flooring,  and 
rived  the  pine  shingles  for  roofs.  In  truth,  the  troops  did 
the  entire  work,  the  quartermaster's  department  only  fur- 
nishing the  few  tools  to  work  with,  the  nails,  and  other  hard- 
ware. Scarcely  a  nail  was  used  to  secure  the  shingles,  they 
being  hung  on  the  rafters  with  wooden  pegs.  The  spaces 
between  the  logs  were  chinked  with  split  pieces  of  pine,  and 
daubed  with  clay,  and  afterwards  the  whole  was  whitewashed. 
This  was  the  mode  of  erecting  quarters  by  the  infantry  arm 
in  those  days,  at  scarcely  any  expense  to  the  Government. 
They  were  most  comfortable,  as  they  were  occupied  for  sev- 
eral years.  No  change  in  stations  took  place  up  to  Decem- 
ber 31. 

1823. 

The  headquarters  and  nine  companies  moved  into  their 
new  quarters  in  September  or  October.  Company  "I"  re- 
turned to  Mobile  Point,  Alabama,  June  30,  and  afterwards 
joined  the  regiment  at  Cantonment  "  Clinch." 

1824. 

On  the  15th  day  of  January,  Companies  C,  D,  F,  and  G, 
under  Brevet  Brigadier  General  George  M.  Brooke,  the 
Lieutenant  Colonel  of  the  Regiment,  sailed  from  Pensa-

cola  for  Tampa  Bay,  Florida,  to  establish  a  military  post, 
which,  after  completion,  received  the  name  of  Cantonment 
"Brooke,"  in  honor  of  the  distinguished  and  popular  Lieu- 
tenant Colonel.  This  movement  was,  no  doubt,  caused  by 
the  fact,  that  the  treaty  of  Payne's  Landing,  made  by  General 
Gadsden,  of  South  Carolina,  formerly  of  the  army,  with  the 
Seminole  Indians,  the  bands  in  Middle  Florida,  (the  Talla- 
hassees,  Lower  Creeks,  and  Mickasaukees,)  were  required  to 
move  east  of  the  Suwannee  river,  join  the  Seminoles,  and 
move  west  of  the  Mississippi  river  in  1835.  Lieutenant  Lo- 
renzo Thomas  sailed  from  New  York  in  October,  1823,  to 
join  the  regiment  at  Pensacola.  The  vessel  was  chartered 
by  Mr.  Robert  J.  Hackley,  who  was  going  to  Tampa  Bay  to 
cut  live-oak  timber,  and  during  a  three  weeks'  stay  in  the 
bay  it  was  explored  most  thoroughly.  Lieutenant  Thomas 
arrived  at  Pensacola  the  day  before  the  expedition  sailed, 
and  described  to  General  Brooke  the  place  at  the  head  of 
Hillsborough  Bay,  at  the  mouth  of  the  river  of  that  name, 
(Lock-chee-pop-ko — " sweet  acorn,")  as  the  most  suitable 
position  for  a  military  post;  which  place,  after  examination, 
he  adopted.  Perhaps,  apart  from  its  military  advantages,  a 
more  beautiful  spot  could  not  have  been  found  in  the  whole 
southern  country,  the  place  being  covered  by  a  large  number 
of  live-oak  trees,  on  a  gentle  slope  extending  to  the  bay. 
The"  only  defences  then  made  were  two  block-houses  at  two 
of  the  angles  of  the  parallelogram,  the  line  of  men's  quar- 
ters making  the  exterior  line  of  defence.  During  the  Sem- 
inole war  this  became  an  important  position,  and  here  was 
established  one  of  the  large  depots  for  supplies  for  the  oper- 
ating armies. 

Company  "B"  was  at  Barrancas  during  the  year.  Com- 
pany "H"  was  most  probably  broken  up  by  the  transfer  of 
the  men  to  other  companies.  Company  "K"  was  opening 
a  road  in  Alabama,  perhaps,  during  the  month  of  May,  June, 
and  July.  On  the  31st  of  August  it  returned  to  Cantonment 
"Clinch."  Company  "I"  went  to  the  Bay  of  St.  Louis  in 
September  or  October,  and  returned  to  New  Orleans  in  De- 
cember. In  September,  Companies  "A"  and  "K"  com-

menced  opening  the  military  road  authorized  by  Congress 
from  Pensacola,  via  Tallahassee,  to  St.  Augustine.  The 
troops  crossed  Pensacola  bay,  opposite  the  town,  and  com- 
menced the  construction  of  the  road  at  that  point.  The  road 
was  made  under  the  superintendence  of  Major  Birch,  Assist- 
ant Quartermaster,  and  was  completed  by  the  troops  to  the 
Apalachicola  river,  fifty  miles  west  of  Tallahassee,  with  a 
ferry  across  the  river.  The  remaining  portion  of  the  road 
was  finished  by  contract.  As  the  time  approached  for  the 
Indians  between  the  Apalachicola  and  Suwannee  rivers  to 
remove  to  East  Florida,  Governor  William  P.  Da  vail,  then 
at  Tallahassee,  seeing  that  the  Indians  were  very  dilatory  in 
making  their  arrangements  for  leaving,  according  to  the 
treaty  made  with  them,  and  fearing  difficulties,  made  a  re- 
quisition on  Colonel  D.  L.  Clinch  for  troops,  and  Company 
E  was  dispatched  from  Cantonment  Clinch  to  St.  Mark's  in 
September.  The  presence  of  the  troops,  and  the  friendly 
Indians  of  the  four  towns  having  reservations  on  the  Apal- 
achicola river,  (for  the  services  of  these  Indians  with  General 
Jackson,)  exercised  a  most  salutary  effect;  and  the  Indians, 
having  journeyed  east,  Company  "E"  returned  to  Canton- 
ment Clinch  in  December. 

December  31,  the  headquarters  arid  Company  "E"  were 
at  Cantonment  Clinch;  Companies  "  C,"  "D,"  "F,"  and 
"  G"  were  at  Cantonment  Brooke;  Company  UB,"  at-Bar- 
rancas;  Company  "I,"  at  ~Ne\v  Orleans,  Louisiana,  and  Com- 
panies "A"  and  "K,"  on  the  military  road  from  Pensacola 
to  St.  Augustine.  Company  •'  H  "  was  probably  unorganized. 

1825. 

Companies  "  A"  and  "K,"  from  the  military  road,  returned 
to  Cantonment  Clinch  in  January.  Company  "B"  joined 
Cantonment  Clinch,  from  Barrancas,  in  June. 

Governor  Troup,  of  Georgia,  having  sent  surveyors  to  run 
off  that  portion  of  the  Creek  country  lying  between  the 
Flint  and  Chattahoochee  rivers,  which  greatly  exasperated  the 
Creek  Indians,  and  the  Governor  having  ordered  out  two 
companies  of  militia  to  protect  the  surveyors,  Major  General 


20  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

E.  P.  Gaines,  commanding  the  Western  Division,  ordered 
Companies  "A,"  "B,"  "E,"  and  "K"  from  Cantonment 
Clinch,  (also  a  battalion  of  five  companies  of  the  1st  Infan- 
try, serving  at  the  same  post,)  to  the  Creek  country.  The 
4th  Infantry  commenced  the  march  July  4,  in  a  heavy  rain ; 
but  being  detained  on  the  route  by  an  order  of  General 
Gaines,  not  to  move  without  a  three  months'  supply  of  pro- 
visions, which  had  to  be  sent  from  Pensacola  by  water,  did 
not  arrive  at  Fort  Mitchell,  on  the  Chattahoochee  river,  Ala- 
bama, until  some  time  in  August.  The  old  picket  work  on 
the  hill,  on  the  right  bank  of  the  river,  was  entirely  decayed, 
and  was  rebuilt  by  the  troops,  with  pickets  on  the  old  lines, 
and  two  block-houses  at  the  diagonal  angles.  Log  huts, 
with  mud  chimneys,  were  built  inside  for  officers  and  men. 
The  Governor  of  Georgia  desisted  from  his  purpose  of  sur- 
veying the  country,  but  the  General  Government  paid  the 
two  militia  companies  for  three  months.  The  payment  was 
made  at  Marion,  Georgia,  by  Lieutenant  Lorenzo  Thomas, 
4th  Infantry. 

Company  "  I"  went  to  Baton  Rouge,  Louisiana,  in  Sep- 
tember, in  consequence  of  sickness,  and  returned  to  iNew 
Orleans  in  November. 

Companies  "D"  and  "F"  were  ordered  to  open  a  road 
from  Cantonment  Brooke  to  Colerain,  Trader's  Hill,  on  the 
St.  Mary's  river,  Georgia.  The  road  was  opened  to  Fort 
King,  Seminole  agency,  distant  a  hundred  and  one  miles, 
and  subsequently  from  that  place  to  Pilatka,on  the  St.  John's 
river,  fifty  miles  distant.  Over  this  military  road  the  troops 
at  Cantonment  Clinch  received  a  mail  by  a  soldier  on  horse- 
back twice  a  month,  and  when  a  failure  occurred,  which  was 
not  unfrequent,  the  garrison  was  without  intelligence  from 
the  civilized  world  for  an  entire  month,  unless,  indeed,  in 
the  meantime,  the  little  transport  schooner  "Florida,"  car- 
rying supplies  once  a  month  from  Pensacola  to  the  -post, 
should  happen  to  arrive. 

December  31,  the  headquarters  and  Company  H  were  at 
Cantonment  Clinch;  Companies  A,  B,  E,  and  K,  at  Fort 
Mitchell;  Companies  C  and  G,  at  Cantonment  Brooke;  Com-

panics  D  and  F,  cutting  a  military  road  from  Cantonment 
Brooke  to  Colerain,  Georgia;  Company  I,  at  New  Orleans. 

1826. 

In  February  companies  D  and  F  returned  from  the  mili- 
tary road  to  Cantonment  Brooke. 

In  April  companies  A,  B,  E,  and  K  rejoined  Cantonment 
Clinch,  from  Fort  Mitchell,  Creek  Nation. 

It  may  not  be  uninteresting  to  give  some  account  how  in- 
fantry regiments  were  transported,  or  transported  themselves, 
in  a  wilderness  country  years  ago,  where  no  railroads  existed 
or  steamships  could  be  obtained,  as  are  now  in  use.  When 
the  battalions  of  the  First  and  Fourth  Infantry  were  ordered 
to  return  to  Cantonment  Clinch,  there  being  but  little  trans- 
portation for  baggage  or  supplies,  and  none  to  be  obtained 
in  an  Indian  country,  the  five  companies  of  the  First  came 
to  Fort  Mitchell,  and  then  each  of  the  nine  companies  of  the 
two  regiments  went  to  work  and  cut  down  trees,  sawed  out 
the  sides  and  necessary  timber  to  construct  a  large  flat-boat 
or  "broad-horse,"  as  they  were  called,  to  contain  the  com- 
pany and  supplies  for  the  voyage  to  the  Gulf,  burned  tar- 
kilns,  picked  oakum,  &c.  The  boats  were  launched  in  the 
Chattahoochee  river;  and,  all  having  safely  embarked  on  these 
boats,  without  shelter  of  any  kind,  started,  each  company 
vieing  with  the  others  which  could  first  reach  its  destination. 
Each  boat  was  propelled  with  from  four  to  six  oars,  and  being 
favored  with  a  current,  good  time  was  made.  Before  night- 
fall the  boats  tied  up  by  the  bank  of  the  river,  and  the  even- 
ing meal  was  prepared.  At  early  dawn  the  morning  meal 
was  prepared  and  hastily  dispatched,  and  onward  went  the 
boats.  Arriving  at  the  mouth  of  the  Apalachicola  river,  no 
transports  could  be  seen,  and  the  small  town  of  that  name, 
consisting  of  two  or  three  small  stores  and  a  few  shanties, 
was  soon  examined.  After  a  few  days  transport  schooners 
arrived,  and  the  troops  were  embarked,  and  soon  made  the 
short  run  to  Pensacola.  Nine  companies  of  troops  have 
rarely  been  transported  so  many  miles  at  so  little  expense. 


22  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

Tn  October  Company  B  was  detached  from  Cantonment 
Clinch,  to  take  post  at  the  mouth  of  the  Su  wan  nee  river,  and 
established  a  post  named  "Fort  Duvall,"  after  the  name  of 
the  Governor  of  the  Territory.  This  and  subsequent  move- 
ments were  made  in  consequence  of  the  return  east  of  the 
Suwannee  river  by  small  bands  of  the  Indians,  who  had 
been  required  to  move  from  Middle  Florida  in  1824.  These 
bands,  returning  to  their  old  cherished  homes,  roved  over 
the  country,  and,  committing  depredations,  alarmed  the  set- 
tlers, who  were  not,  as  yet,  in  numbers  sufficient  to  fully 
protect  themselves. 

December  31,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  E,  H, 
and  K  were  at  Cantonment  Clinch;  Companies  C,  D,  F,  and 
G  at  Cantonment  Brooke;  Company  B  at  Fort  Duvall;  and 
Company  I  at  New  Orleans,  Louisiana. 

1827. 

The  predatory  bands  of  Indians  still  continuing  trouble- 
some, some  of  the  companies  of  the  Regiment  were  moved 
from  station  to  station,  to  restrain  them  and  keep  them  within 
the  treaty  limits. 

In  January  Company  C  was  sent  from  Cantonment  Brooke 
to  "Wanton's,  near  the  Seminole  Agency,  and  Company  F, 
from  the  same  post,  was  stationed  near  the  same  place,  at 
Fort  King.  Company  H,  from  Cantonment  Clinch,  was  at 
Fort  Duvall;  and  Company  K,  from  the  same  post,  was  sta- 
tioned near  Fort  Duvall. 

In  February  Companies  C  andF,  from  Cantonment  Brooke, 
were  stationed  at  Fort  Mclntosh,  in  Alabama  county,  Flor- 
ida; and  Company  K,  from  near  Fort  Duvall,  wTas  at  Adams's, 
thirty  miles  from  Tallahassee,  Florida. 

In  March  Company  B,  from  Fort  Duvall,  was  near  Talla- 
hassee; Companies  F  and  H  near  the  Seminole  Agency;  and 
Company  K,  from  Adams's,  was  at  Cantonment  Clinch. 

In  April  Company  B,  from  near  Tallahassee,  was  near  the 
Suwannee  river;  Company  C,  from  near  Camp  Mclntosh, 
returned  to  Cantonment  Brooke;  and  Company  I,  from  New 
Orleans,  was  at  Cantonment  Clinch. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  23 

In  May  Company  B,  from  near  the  Suwannee  river,  was 
at  Camp  Dickins,  Florida;  Companies  F  and  H,  near  the 
Seminole  Agency,  established  the  post  called  Fort  King, 
named  after  a  former  Colonel  of  the  Regiment;  and  Com- 
pany F  afterwards  returned  to  Cantonment  Brooke. 

December  31,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  B,  E, 
I,  and  K,  were  at  Cantonment  Clinch;  Companies  C,  D,  F, 
and  G  at  Cantonment  Brooke;  and  Company  II  at  Fort  King.

tachment of  men  of  Companies  A,  C,  D,  G,  and  I,  from  St. 
Augustine,  Florida. 

October  24,  Company  A  removed  from  Fort  Mitchell  to 
the  vicinity  of  Tuckebatchee,  Creek  Nation,  Alabama,  at 
which  place  it  arrived  October  26. 

December  31,  the  headquarters  and  Company  I  were  at 
Cantonment  Clinch;  Company  A  in  the  Creek  nation;  Com- 
panies B,  E,  and  K  at  Baton  Rouge;  Companies  C,  D,  F,  and 
G  at  Cantonment  Brooke;  and  Company  H  at  Fort  King.

where  it  must  have  arrived  the  7th  or  8th  of  the  month.  On 
the  14th,  Company  B  left  Fort  St.  Philip  for  Baton  Rouge, 
where  it  must  have  arrived  about  the  17tb.  On  the  27th, 
Company  A,  from  the  Creek  Nation,  arrived  in  the  Bay  of 
Pensacola,  and  on  the  30th  was  ordered  back  to  Fort  Mitch-

bridge  into  Virginia,  with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac;  pro- 
ceeded towards  Manassas  Junction,  on  the  Orange  and  Alex- 
andria railroad,  but  changed  direction,  and  camped  about

March  27,  Regiment  embarked  on  steamers  at  Alexandria, 
and  proceeded  to  Fortress  Monroe,  Virginia;  disembarked 
on  the  29th,  and  went  into  camp  near  Hampton,  Virginia. 

April  1,  Regiment  was  encamped  near  Hampton,  Virginia. 

April  4,  the  Regiment  moved  to  Camp  Scott,  near  York- 
town,  Virginia,  and  worked  in  the  trenches  during  the 
siege  of  Yorktown. 

May  1,  the  Regiment  was  in  camp  in  front  of  Yorktown. 

May  11,  the  Regiment,  forming  part  of  Sykes'  Brigade  of 
Regulars,  moved  up  the  Peninsula  towards  Richmond,  Vir- 
ginia, following  the  retreating  rebel  army,  which  had  during 
the  previous  night  evacuated  Yorktown,  (leaving  buried  in  the 
ground,  all  along  the  front  of  their  works,  numerous  torpe- 
does, the  explosion  of  some  of  them  killing  a  number  of  the

men  of  the  army,)  and,  after  several  days'  march,  camped  on 
the  Chickahominy  river,  near  Games'  Mill,  which  camp  was 
called  "  Camp  Lovell,"  after  Colonel  Chas.  S.  Lovell,  United 
States  Army. 

June  1,  the  Regiment  was  still  in  Camp  Lovell. 

June  24,  the  Regiment,  with  the  1st  Brigade  of  Regulars, 
(the  Regulars  having  been  formed  into  a  Division,  and  con- 
nected with  Fitz  John  Porter's  Army  Corps,)  made  a  recon- 
noissance  to  Hanover  C.  II.,  Virginia,  to  ascertain  the  where- 
abouts of  Stonewall  Jackson's  Corps,  and  returned  to  Camp 
Lovell  on  the  26th  of  June. 

June  26,  the  Regiment,  about  retreat,  moved  towards  Me- 
chanicsville,  Virginia,  to  support  McCalPs  Division,  5th 
Corps,  then  engaged  with  the  enemy.  Night  came  on  before 
reaching  the  battle-field,  and  the  Regiment  bivouacked  on 
the  road. 

June  27,  the  Regiment  participated  in  theBattle  of"  Gaines' 
Mill,"  holding  tlje  extreme  right  of  the  army,  and  support- 
ing Weed's  and  TidbalPs  batteries.  It  held  the  position  from 
eleven  o'clock,  a.  m.,  until  dark,  when  it  retired,  under  or- 
ders, from  the  field,  and  bivouacked  the  same  night  on  the 
enemy's  side  of  the  Chickahominy  river.  During  the  night 
all  the  army  engaged  in  the  fight,  crossed  the  Chickahominy 
to  the  right  bank,  excepting  the  Fourth  Infantry.  Having  re- 
ceived no  orders  to  move,  the  Regiment  remained  on  the 
left  bank  until  after  daylight  the  28th,  when,  not  seeing  any 
of  the  army  remaining  near  it,  proceeded  to  cross  Grapevine 
bridge;  but  finding  that  this  bridge,  being  the  only  one  left, 
was  being  destroyed,  they  replaced  a  portion  of  it,  and  crossed 
in  safety.  In  the  early  part  of  the  engagement,  Major  David- 
sou,  commanding  the  Regiment,  deserted  it,  and  the  command 
devolved  upon  Captain  Joseph  B.  Collins,  who  manoeuvred 
it  during  the  remaining  portion  of  the  seven  days'  fight. 

June  28,  the  Regiment  moved  from  the  right  bank  of  the 
Ohickahominy,  and  about  dark  arrived  at  Savage  Station,  on 
the  York  River  and  Richmond  railroad,  and  the  same  night 
inarched  through  White  Oak  Swamp.  The  Regiment  had 
left  most  of  its  baggage,  records,  &c.,  at  Savage  Station,  to 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  55 

be  sent  South  by  railroad;  but,  the  enemy  appearing  at  early 
daylight, 

June  29,  the  regimental  and  most  of  the  company  records, 
camp  and  garrison-  equipage,  men's  knapsacks,  officers'  bed- 
ding, &c.,  was  burned,  to  prevent  the  property  from  falling 
into  their  hands. 

June  29,  the  Regiment  was  halted  near  the  head  of  the 
Quaker  road,  and  placed  in  position  for  battle.  This  posi-4 
tion  was  occupied  until  the  following  morning. 

June  30,  the  Regiment  moved  to  Malvern  Hill,  and  was 
immediately  thrown  to  the  front  in  line  of  battle. 

July  1,  the  Regiment  participated  in  Battle  of  "Malvern 
Hill,"  Virginia,  and  held  the  field  of  battle  all  night.  The 
Regiment  on  this  occasion  was  commanded  by  Captain  Joseph 
B.  Collins. 

July  2,  the  Regiment  formed  part  of  the  rear-guard  of  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac,  retiring  from  Malvern  Hill,  and 
marched  to  Harrison's  Landing.  During  the  seven  dajV 
fight  it  was  without  camp  and  garrison  equipage,  and  with- 
out anything,  comparatively,  to  eat;  there  being  no  subsist- 
ance  or  baggage  train  with  it. 

July  30,  Companies  D  and  E  were  broken  up  by  an  order 
from  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  the  few  men  remaining  were 
transferred  to  different  companies  of  the  Regiment. 

August  1,  the  Regiment  was  in  camp  at  Harrison's  Land- 
ing, on  the  James  river. 

August  14,  the  Regiment  left  Harrison's  Landing  and 
proceeded  to  Newport  News,  Virginia,  and  embarked  on 
steamer  Elm  City  for  Aquia  Creek,  Virginia,  August  20. 

August  21,  the  Regiment  disembarked  at  Aquia  Creek, 
Virginia,  and  proceeded  by  rail  to  Falmouth,  opposite  Fred- 
ericksburg,  Virginia. 

August  23,  the  Regiment  moved  out  on  the  Warrenton 
road,  towards  Barnet's  ford  of  the  Rappahannock,  and  con- 
tinued the  march  day  after  day  until  it  joined  the  army  of 
General  Pope,  at  Warrenton  Junction,  on  the  Orange  and 
Alexandria  railroad. 

August  30,  the  Regiment  participated  in   the  Battle  of 


56  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

"Manassas,"  Virginia.  The  Regiment  was  commanded 
during  this  movement  by  Captain  Joseph  B.  Collins,  who 
was  wounded  during  this  engagement,  and  the  command 
devolved  upon  Captain  Hiram  Dryer. 

[The  following  is  an  extract  from  General  Sykes'  (com- 
manding Division)  report  of  that  engagement:] 

The  enemy  continuing  to  outflank  our  left,  Buchanan 
ordered  to  the  support  of  the  forces  engaged  in  that 
direction,  and  maintained  a  gallant  and  bloody  conflict  with 
the  foe,  until,  outnumbered,  outflanked,  and  badly  crippled, 
I  directed  him  to  retire." 

[The  following  is  an  extract  from  the  report  of  Lieutenant 
Colonel  R.  C.  Buchanan,  Fourth  Infantry,  commanding  Brig- 
ade in  which  the  Fourth  Infantry  was  serving:] 

"I  cannot  omit  calling  the  attention  of  the  Brigadier  Gen- 
eral commanding  to  the  firm  and  gallant  manner  in  which 
my  Brigade  held  the  enemy  in  check  on  the  extreme  left  for 
such  a  length  of  time,  and  finally  prevented  his  turning  our 
flank.  At  one  time  the  3d  and  Fourth  (Infantry)  were  with- 
in thirty  yards  of  one  of  his  Brigades,  which  made  a  flank 
movement  to  turn  their  left,  when  Captain  Dryer,  command- 
ing the  Fourth,  gave  orders  to  fire  by  battalions,  and  poured 
three  most  destructive  volleys  into  it  before  his  fire  could  be 
returned.  The  greatest  portion  of  my  loss  was  at  this  point, 
and  too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  to  officers  and  men  for 
their  coolness  and  gallantry  during  the  engagement." 

August  31,  the  Regiment  arrived  at  Centreville,  with  Army 
of  Potomac,  retreating  on  Washington,  from  the  battle  of 
the  previous  day. 

September  1,  the  Regiment  arrived  at  Fairfax  C.  H.,  Vir- 
ginia. 

September  2,  the  Regiment  marched  to  and  went  into 
camp  at  a  place  near  Arlington  Heights,  Virginia,  called 
"Hall's  Hill." 

September  6,  the  Regiment  moved  from  camp  at  Hall's 
Hill,  and  proceeded  by  daily  marches,  until  it  reached  the 
presence  of  the  enemy  at  South  Mountain,  Maryland. 

September  17,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  B,  C, 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  57 

F,  G,  H,  I,  and  K,  were  engaged  at  the  Battle  of  Antietam, 
and  held  part  of  the  center  of  the  lines,  immediately  in  front 
of  Sharpsburg,  and  covering  the  bridge  over  the  Antietam 
creek,  on  the  Frederick  and  Sharpsburg  turnpike.    Captain 
Hiram  Dryer  commanded  the  Regiment  on  this  occasion. 

October  1,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  B,  C,  F, 

G,  H,  I,  and  K,  were  encamped  near  the  Potomac  river,  about 
one  mile  from  Sharpsburg,  occupying  a  part  of  the  late  field 
of  battle. 

November  1,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  B,  C,  F, 
G,  H,  I,  and  K,  were  on  the  march  from  Sharpsburg  towards 
Warrenton,  Virginia,  passing  along  the  base  of  the  Blue  Ridge 
Mountains,  and  occupying,  for  two  or  three  days  during  the 
march,  "Snicker's  Gap,"  in  the  mountains.  After  arriving 
at  Warrenton,  General  McClellan  was  removed  from  the  com- 
mand of  the  army,  and  General  Burnside  assigned  to  the  com- 
mand; which  changed  the  plans  of  operation,  and  the  Regi- 
ment proceeded  to  Falmouth,  opposite  Fredericksburg,  Vir- 
ginia, and  encamped  near  that  place  on  the  21st  of  November. 

December  1,  the  Regiment  was  still  in  camp  near  Falmouth. 

December  13,  the  Regiment  was  engaged  in  the  Battle  of 
Fredericksburg.  The  Fourth  Infantry  occupied  a  line  south 
of  the  city,  running  east  and  west,  between  the  large  brick 
tannery  and  a  brick  house  on  the  Richmond  and  Fredericks- 
burg turnpike.  The  position  they  occupied  had  been  taken 
by  them  the  night  of  the  13th,  and  was  held  until  the  night 
of  the  14th;  the  officers  and  men  having  to  lie  down  during 
the  entire  day,  as  their  position  was  so  well  covered  by  the 
enemy  that  it  was  almost  certain  death  to  rise  up. 

December  16,  the  Regiment  formed  part  of  the  rear-guard 
of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  in  evacuating  Fredericksburg. 
The  Fourth  Infantry  and  the  14th  Infantry  were  the  two  last 
Regiments  to  cross  the  river  on  the  bridge,  and  then  it  was 
taken  up  behind  them,  after  eight  o'clock  in  the  morning. 

1863. 

January  1,  the  Regiment  was  in  camp  on  Potomac  creek, 
near  Falmouth,  Virginia. 


58  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

January  12,  the  Regiment  moved  out  of  camp  and  pro- 
ceeded to  Banks'  ford  of  the  Rappahannock  river,  with  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac;  but,  in  consequence  of  the  terrible 
rains  and  mud,  the  campaign  against  the  rebel  army  was 
given  up,  and  the  Regiment,  returned  to  its  old  camp  near 
Falmouth,  Virginia.  This  was  the  famous  "mud  march" 
of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac. 

February  1,  the  Regiment  was  still  in  camp  on  Potomac 
creek,  near  Falmouth, .Virginia. 

March  1,  Companies  B,  G,  and  I  were  broken  up,  and  the 
few  men  remaining  were  transferred  to  other  companies  of 
the  Regiment. 

April  1,  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  C,  F,  H,  and  K, 
were  still  in  camp  near  Falmouth,  Virginia. 

April  27,  the  regimental  headquarters  and  Companies  A, 
C,  F,  H,  and  K,  together  with  the  Regular  Division,  moved 
out  of  camp,  proceeded  to  Kelly's  ford  of  the  Rappahannock 
river,  forded  the  river,  marched  on,  crossed  the  Rapidan 
river  at  Ely's  ford,  moved  down  the  plank  road  leading 
from  Orange  C.  H.,  Virginia,  to  Fredericksburg;  and  on 
April  30  met  the  enemy  and  drove  him  about  two  miles, 
and  were  then  placed  in  a  defensive  position  near  Chancel- 
lorsville,  Virginia. 

May  1,  (Sunday,)  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  C, 
F,  H,  and  K,  participated  in  the  Battle  of  Chancellorsville, 
Virginia,  and  occupied  position  at  Chancellorsville  until  May 
4,  when  they  re-crossed  the  Rappahannock  river  at  United 
States  ford,  and  proceeded  to  the  old  camp  on  Potomac  creek, 
near  Falmouth,  Virginia.  In  re-crossing  the  river,  the  Regi- 
ment formed  part  of  the  rear-guard  for  the  retiring  array,  and 
was  commanded  by  Captain  Hiram  Dryer,  Fourth  Infantry. 

June  1,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  C,  F,  II,  and 
~K  were  still  in  camp  on  Potomac  Creek,  near  Falmouth, 
Virginia. 

June  10,  the  Regiment,  with  the  Regular  Division,  moved 
to  Banks'  ford  of  the  Rappahannock  river,  and  took  up  po- 
sition at  that  point. 

June  13,  the  Regiment  moved  from    Banks'  ford,  and 


HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY.  59 

marched  to  the  line  of  the  Orange  and  Alexandria  railroad; 
then,  continuing  the  march  day  by  day,  passed  successively 
through  Manassas  Junction,  Centreville,  Gum  Springs,  and 
Leesburg,  Virginia,  and  on  the  26th  crossed  the  Potomac 
river  at  Edward's  ferry  (on  pontoon  bridges)  into  Maryland; 
forded  the  Monocacy  river  below  the  Monocacy  Junction, 
on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad;  passed  by  Frederick, 
Maryland,  Liberty,  Johnsville,  Union  Bridge,  Bark  Hill,  and 
Union  Mills,  Maryland,  to  Hanover,  Pennsylvania,  where  it 
arrived  on  the  1st  of  July. 

July  1,  the  Division  commander  receiving  information 
that  the  Union  and  rebel  forces  had  met  at  Gettysburg,  Penn- 
sylvania, the  Division,  including  the  Regiment,  was  ordered 
to  that  point,  and  the  same  night  bivouacked  in  the  road 
about  five  miles  east  of  Gettysburg,  Pennsylvania. 

July  2,  the  headquarters  and  Companies  A,  C,  F,  H,  and 
K,  (all  of  the  companies  that  had  any  organization,)  left  their 
bivouac,  moved  to  the  field  of  battle,  and  took  up  a  position 
in  line  of  battle  near  Gettysburg.  The  position  was  after- 
wards changed  to  one  on  the  ridge  south  of  the  town,  three 
miles  from  the  first,  the  right  resting  on  the  turnpike.  About 
three  o'clock  p.  m.,  the  Regiment  was  ordered  forward  with 
the  Regular  Division,  and  was  thrown  into  the  fight  on  the 
extreme  left,  where  it  was  subjected  to  a  terrific  fire.  The 
3d  Brigade  of  the  Regular  Division  held  th£  high  knob  on 
the  extreme  left,  called  "Round  Top;"  the  1st  (to  which  the 
Fourth  Infantry  belonged)  and  2d  Brigades  were  thrown  into 
the  valley  at  the  base  of  the  "Round  Top;"  the  first  position 
being  perpendicular  to  the  valley,  up  which  the  enemy  were 
advancing.  The  rebels  retired  from  this,  when  the  two 
brigades  were  swung  around,  parallel  to  and  covering  the, 
valley.  The  order  was  then  given  for  an  advance,  which  was 
being  handsomely  executed  when  the  volunteer  troops  on  their 
right  broke,  and  they  were  compelled  to  retire  to  the  east- 
ern slope  of  the  valley.  The  Regulars,  in  the  engagement, 
lost  fifty  officers  and  nine  hundred  and  twenty  enlisted  men 
killed  and  wounded,  out  of  two  thousand  five  hundred  car- 
ried into  action. 


60  HISTORY  OF  THE  FOURTH  INFANTRY. 

July  3,  the  Regiment  occupied  position  on  "Round  Top" 
all  day,  momentarily  expecting  an  attack. 

July  4,  the  Regiment  made  a  reconnoissance  to  the  front, 
to  ascertain  the  whereabouts  of  the  enemy,  and  found  him 
still  occupying  the  field  in  force,  although  his  lines  had  been 
contracted.

the  retreating  rebel  army;  passed  by  Emmittsburg,  Mary- 
land, along  the  base  of  the  Kittoctan  mountains,  on  the 
right  bank  of  the  Monocacy  river;  marched  all  day,  without 
rations,  in  a  driving  rain  storm, crossed  over  the  mountains; 
passed  through  the  Middletown  valley;  on  through  Fox's 
gap  of  the  South  Mountain  range,  by  Boonsboro',  Maryland, 
to  Williamsport,  Maryland. 

July  15,  finding  that  the  enemy  had  recrossed  the  Poto- 
mac river  into  Virginia,  the  Regiment,  with  the  Division, 
moved  from  Williamsport  in  the  direction  of  Harper's  Ferry, 
Virginia;  and,  on 

July  17,  crossed  the  Potomac  river  again  into  Virginia,  at  a 
place  called  Berlin,  below  Harper's  Ferry,  and  by  a  series  of

riving there  about  the  18th,  and  immediately  went  into  camp 
in  Washington  Square,  New  York  city,  having  been  ordered 
there  with  the  Regular  Division,  to  assist  in  suppressing  the 
riots  occurring  on  account  of  the  draft.  The  Regiment  at 
this  point  was  under  the  command  of  Major  F.  T.  Dent, 
Fourth  Infantry,
